Water is derived from a deep well and is treated. A new backup well, new pump house and water treatment facility have been completed. Seventy-one households and the school are connected to the piped water and sewer system. A number of residents in the community still haul water from the washeteria and use honeybuckets or outhouses. A Master Plan is underway to examine and engineer expansion of the system. Landfill improvements are needed. Holy Cross was a member of the Rural Utilities Cooperative but opted to get out of the contract and the City of Holy now runs the water and sewer system.
